![A horizontal triptych grid of three high contrast, black-and-white, macro images of Uccello’s hands physically manipulating his flesh in a forceful manner. Images are captured with a full spectrum camera equipped with an 850 nanometer wavelength high-pass filter. The imaging process reveals aberrations on the surface of the skin such as: stretch marks, pock marks, pores, and hair follicles. The lighting is at a grazing angle to the surface of the body causing areas of skin to drop into complete shadow.](https://media.sva.edu/image/upload/c_scale,f_auto,dpr_auto,q_auto,w_768/heroImage/uccello-steven-2022-034-1668537340-derivative.webp)
